Cuevas del Drach, immerse yourself in our environment Located on the east coast of Majorca, specifically in the town of Porto Cristo, these caves are one of the island’s main tourist attractions, and are, without doubt, some of the most remarkable ones on the island, as they have a horizontal extension of about 1,200 meters and a maximum depth of 25 m. below ground level, The caves contain a large underground lake, Lake Martel,  considered one of the largest underground lakes in the world.

Traditional beach resort on the east coast of Mallorca Porto Cristo – or Portocristo – is a little, picturesque fishing village on the east coast of Mallorca. It takes advantage of its superb position at the end of a long, sheltered bay featuring a blue flag sandy beach with lovely turquoise waters and has carved out a role as a laidback, family-friendly resort.  Porto Cristo comprises a blend of ancient stone houses and more modern villas with plenty of character. It’s now hard to believe that it was once one of the main tourist resorts on the east coast of Mallorca, a situation that changed when the large commercial tourist resort of Cala Millor came along. The port is the main attraction here as it's where many local restaurants, perfectly placed to catch the lunchtime sun, are located. Porto Cristo is an attractive summer getaway destination for British, German and Scandinavian tourists. Even if you don't base yourself here on your holiday, we would highly recommend a visit to its legendary Dragon Caves (Cuevas del Drach), which day-trippers come in droves to visit.

here is a choice of options for a special balloon ride to remember, including a flight over the Tramuntana mountains (700 euros for two people), and a moonlight flight (600 euros for two people). Other options are available and priced on enquiry. A one-hour balloon ride is available from 160 euros per adult. The sheer romance of floating above Mallorca will give you a bird’s eye view of the island that will stay in the memory forever. Everybody can help to build the balloon. When the balloon half fills the flames of the burners break the silence of the morning and the sail starts to rise. Your moment has come! Everybody into the basket…Once, when everyone is inside we will take off. After these exciting moments, it comes the calm. Meter after meter we rise softly and we start to contemplate the landscape. Soon you will see Cabrera and when we reach 300 or 500 meters, we probably can see Menorca. The silence and the feeling of freedom are unique. Villages, country houses, and hills are underneath your feeds.
